A new poll From Franklin Pierce (full pdf below) on behalf of the Boston Herald shows Donald Trump gaining an additional 5 points in the past week. Trump now dominates the New Hampshire polling with 38%, Ted Cruz with 13% and Bush/Rubio with 10% each.
In addition, almost 60% of New Hampshire voters now see Donald Trump as inevitable Republican Presidential Nominee:
BOSTON HERALD – […] Trump has a massive 25-point advantage over his nearest rival Cruz while Sanders has grown his lead over Clinton to a 57-37 percent margin , according to the poll of likely Granite State primary voters conducted Jan. 26-30.
Trump now gets 38 percent of the vote in New Hampshire - up from 33 percent a week ago = while Cruz has stalled at 13 percent, according to the poll of 439 likely GOP primary voters.
Rubio and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush are getting 10 percent, while Ohio Gov. John Kasich has dropped to fifth place at 8 percent, according to the poll. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, businesswoman Carly Fiorina and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul are winning just 5 percent support, the poll shows.
Trump's popularity has remained steady in the Granite State, with 56 percent of GOP voters saying they hold a favorable view of the billionaire business mogul. (read more)
Trump momentum BUMP!
Good News!
and so are South Carolina and the SEC primary and all the rest....
keep telling yourself that
New Hampshire says of Iowa, “ IOWA picks corn, New Hampshire picks presidents”.
You miss the picture by miles if you think the kick off states are meaningless. The time, the million$, and the colossal effort that is expended to win IOWA proves the importance of a good kick off.
New Hampshire sets the field going into South Carolina, after which half the field still standing falls out.
This cycle, it may be NH that sends them all home, given the historic lead that TRUMP has maintained, for months now, is only growing to proportions no one can overcome.
I mean, why would the usual rule even apply. Financially, Bush and Cruz can stay in through Florida, maybe Rubio, but that only helps TRUMP, because the other three are swimming upstream against the tide, battling over who falls in or out of third place.
Money dries up at some point, and they are left chugging uphill without a refill.
They mess with TRUMP too much in their effort to stay afloat, they will lose their remote chance to share his ticket, although, personally speaking, I happen to be one of those who think he will not use any of them, but will surprise us.
LOL, and a good one!
Cute.
I think they buy names from websites and such.
I also think they have software that just makes up the amount needed randomly. He’s got millions of dollars already, so this crap about needing this money to keep their field people working in Iowa is just more Ted Cruz bull$#it.
They won’t drop you off their list. Been there, done that. However if you report each e-mail as spam your e-mail provider will eventually screen them out before they get to your in box.
If Trump wins the nomination and the general election, I don’t want him coming out of the blue with people no one knows anything about.
A billionaire does not get to that level without a certain level of “questionable” dealings. If he picks one of those types for some post, the country has problems.
I understand his populist appeal, the people are angry, so am I, but I’m not going to blindly cut my throat because I’m ticked at status quo.
Looking good!8^)
Bingo! And the bombshell is this report today from CNN:
http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/30/politics/ted-cruz-keep-the-promise-super-pac/
“Three families are responsible for $36 million of the roughly $40 million the Cruz super PACs raised in 2015, and it does not appear additional donors of the same scale have been landed during the second half of 2015.”
Sure, he can continue to annoy people with beg-emails and small donations won’t stop, but the big money appears to have already hit the brakes. And based on the past week’s performance, it’s unlikely those three big donors will throw good money after bad.
Agreed. He’s proven that he wins debates, there’s really no need for him to do ANY more.
NH will vote for a left leaning Republican and the farthest left Democrat. There is no doubt of that. NH is no longer the Live Free or Die state. It is now the Live Free Until We Die state.
Are you predicting Chris Cristie will win?
Can any NH Freepers also confirm this?
Ah, Noon on 2/4 Yes the Exeter Town Hall...
He should travel about 2 miles from downtown and visit Sig Saurer’s world HQ’s just up the road...
Doors open @ 10 I have been told.....
Who knew a Democrat would lead nhamp? Duh.. Mr Single Payor 2000 is winning nhamp.. I will act surprised.
I love the hollywood squares. Ted has a Canadian flag on his podium.
